Guanacaste Volcanoes-Wildlife watching Four Seasons to explore

La Fortuna Three Day Trip From Guanacaste

La Fortuna is one of Costa Rica's top destinations. The reasons? Several. . . but let me name just a few: a majestic conic volcano surrounded by lush nature and amazing wildlife that inhabits all the corners of the forest from the bottom to the canopy. Awesome outdoor adventure activities and to top it off some of the world's best thermal resorts.

Arenal Volcano's area certainly offers fun for all. From relaxed floating safari (where one can admire monkeys, "walking-over-water lizards", toucans and even sloths) to exhilarating zip line and suspension bridges with the best views of the rainforest.

Visiting La Fortuna from Guanacaste is a great opportunity to discover another ecosystem, one full of centennial giant trees, "walking palms" and colorful tropical plants, a place where the natural hot springs will make you feel recharged and where regardless of its popularity amongst tourists you can still feel the authenticity of Costa Rica's culture and "Pura Vida lifestyle".
